Guild Wars 2

Hail, fellow adventurers

I guess this has been suggested before, but I am not seeing a suggestion like this on the front page, so apologies if this is a 100th repost – I really feel like this is something Arena Net should look into

As you all may know, the price for Silver Doubloons are ridiculous, especially considering you don’t need them for anything other than crafting The Juggernaut

To cut to the chase, my suggestion is to allow jewelcrafters to transmorgify copper doubloons into silver doubloons – because this is beyond silly, there is no real efficient way of getting silver doubloons at all

Since it would not make sense to just be able to turn copper into silver and silver into gold, I’d say you should be able to turn gold into platinum too

Once again, apologies if this is something that has been brought up before

Reason enough for the cost .

At the same time there is no reasonable way to get 250 of them yourself without buying them for a ridiculous amount of gold

You cannot create them through a craft nor use the mystic forge to get them like you can get lodestones

Leveling from 1-80 I remember getting one silver doubloon, so the drop rates are not too great either

The problem is that silver doubloons mostly come from chests. Those chests (with few exceptions) scale their rewards to the level of who opens them. To get silver doubloons you need to be level 20-35ish, which is certainly not a level when a “normal” player would be hunting materials for a legendary already. So your only option is to create alts, level them to 20, and go hunt chests with them. At level 80 you haven’t even the option of running as many jumping puzzles as you can stomach to get at chests, it won’t do you much good.

This seriously needs to be fixed. Converting copper to silver doubloons is the most obvious way, seeing as gold doubloons can be upgraded to platinum already.

Silver to gold, not gold to platinum.
Really, the fact that only silver→gold is available and not copper→silver or gold→platinum is already very strange.

maybe the doubloons need another use as well? to make this addition of the recipe more valid. price continues to go up meanwhile.

I want to bump this up. :’( Why cant silver be doubloons be transmogrified unlike gold doubloons from silver doubloons?

oh wow. That screenshot. If only i could buy them for only 121g…
Because now stack of doubloons will cost you almost 510g…

I think 500g or even 1000g per stack is a fair price.

I have a suggestion in crafting i think look it up

Found it for you! https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Suggestion-to-fix-silver-doubloons-issue/first#post3185154

Why? For 1\4 of a single gift, not counting gold for precursor and other materials? Just to do weapon that can be used only by 2 professions? Lol.

There are people willing to pay that price for their juggernaut.
If you aren’t , too bad.

I do not see the issue. There is no rules telling anet how much a legendary may cost.
